New Product!


As some of you know, I've been trying to sell my wares on Etsy.com for a few months now. One kind friend in the great state of Texas, bought a famster after spying it there. I'm really puzzled about HOW to get folks to buy. Numerous friends and acquaintances (and total strangers) told me to "put my famsters on etsy and they'll sell like hotcakes!" Not so. I've read "tips for selling", spoken to successful sellers, etc, but alas - nothing. I'll keep plugging away at it though. Another friend of mine had her stuff on etsy and it took months for folks to notice her.

Selling is my toughtest job.

I LOVE creating things though and here is the latest little critter born into the famster family. Her name is Serena and she's actually a new species - a Sleepster! She's smaller than her older brothers and sisters and smells much better (because she has lots of lavender and chamomile inside). She's perfect for tucking under your pillow or sitting right on top. Hopefully, I'll have lots more ready for First Friday - next week - February 6th.

Was the buyer in the great state of Texas a relation by any chance? ;)

host a give away and yak about it on bloggiveaways.com and other such sites. you'll get a ton of people enter your giveaway and more traffic for your site.

one thing i did was, to enter the giveaway, people had to visit my etsy site and say which item they liked the best. that way people *had* to visit my site. got some sales off it and, at the very least, got more people seeing my stuff.
